sorry -- I'm trying to (metaphorically) walk and chew gum at the same time...

As water is over 90 percent of the elements in our bodies -- and water as you know is 2 atoms H, to 1 of O, while the NUMBER of H atoms outnumber the O --- the MASS of the O is roughly 16 times of H....

Make sense?? It better -- I think I'm burning dinner....

...
shit...

The difference between prayer and masturbation - is when a guy is through masturbating - he has something to show for his efforts.

Ok... so doing the math:

H-O-H
1-16-1
or
1:8 ratio

So, for every H there is ~+8x the mass for an O.

That still doesn't add up. According to that math, around a quarter of the O is missing.

I still don't get it.

Is the other 1/4 of the O bonding to itself and becoming O2?

Are they saying total H and O in the body - not just from water molecules?

Because you start talking fatty acids, proteins, etc...
